I have finally given in, I fought the good fight at every stage...(never with transplants or a hairpiece). Started receding at 18 and went to various levels off buzz cuts throughout my life and trying to comb forward (dumb) then at 29 ( I am 38 now) I would crop it down to 0 then spray hair fibers over the back and lightly over the front to create "shadow" it looked great, IF you go a really good spray and IF you do not touch or bump your head (and no one else touches it either. The other day I just hit a point...don't really know what set it off, but I said, the hell with it, this is ridiculous...spraying in my huge bald spots, after almost 10 years of doing so.
I am 6'2 and workout like a madman, keeping in shape is important to me, I really just wanted a strong buzzed look to go with it, and not have people look at my and know I am genetically inept lol. it comes to be no small form of torture that I am one of four brothers whom all have magnificent heads of hair with not even a hint of receding. Am I jealous? No. Actually happy they will never have to go through what we all have, yet the journey's end is not such a bad one, more of just you accepting it than anyone else.
Oh, also, I found this website a week ago, I found the founder on a youtube vid and thought him to be a genuine dude...checked out this website and here I am!
So it's a straight shave from here on out, I will see how it goes.....

See how it goes? It'll go fine except for the occasional knick with your razor. And the occasional bad attempt at a joke by a friend - you'll hear them all in the first week.
Welcome to the sly side of life ! Accepting what we can't change and just moving on with the great parts of life is what it's all about.
"grant me the ability to change what I can, the strength to live with what I can't and the wisdom to know the difference" (a badly recalled paraphrase)

The thing that puzzles me is that it sounds as if the "spray solution" you were using was a "look, but don't touch" type of thang...so that means that if some female ran her fingers thru your hair, then across your cheek, it would be as if she was....fingerpainting??...

Welcome to SBGs!!!

Well, I won't say much more than has been said here about "Welcome."
Live and learn--I'd never really thought about whatever that "spray-on" hair might entail. No, don't tell me.
As to my own sibs, there's only one, a brother younger by four years, and we frequently "talk" via Skype, being many states apart. I say nothing, but his hair seems to me to be a perfect Bozo effect--lots of skin in front and to the top and a lot of curly fringe around. I teach by example, but maybe I should be a little more pushy about the virtues of Sly.
On the other hand, if his wife and his cat and his sons and his grandsons put up with Brother Bo' face to face, who am I to suggest such a change?
